Brindley Hall, Compton, Kinver This house was once owned by James Brindley, the man who played such a big part in the building of the Canals. Up until recent years it was owned by the Enville Estate and fell into disrepair, squatters moved in for a while, then it was sold to Developers, but when they came to renovate it, Bats were found in the roof and work had to stop. If anyone lives in it now I don't know, but with iron fence and Doberman dogs I will leave that to someone else to find out. The farm nextdoor is Union Hall Farm named after The Grand Union Canal.
